[VIA] Does MSI KT3 Ultra have a 1/5 divider?

That may be possible Wonkanoby , i'm not arguing against that (where the 5 divider kicks in).
But the issue is with going from 166 and upwards divider stays at 5 forever and cause you trouble with agp & pci devices.
Maybe I was unclear with the sentense:
"Fuzzy logic up the fsb so the divider divides by 5 all the way up beyond 166 PCI/AGP frequency then follows ."
What I meant is from 166 and further upwards the divider is 5 nomatter what the fsb/mem freq. is .
This way a fsb overclock to say 190~200 gives near 40mhz 80mhz on pci bus / agp as there is no
divider 6 kicking in on Kt333 . And theese pci/agp frequencys is not any good for your equiptment .

[VIA] Does MSI KT3 Ultra have a 1/5 divider?

I have a KT3 Ultra MB,
my CPU is Athlon XP 1800+(Palomino 133*11.5),
I oc it to 166*10, the system seems stable and works well
but I wonder whether PCI/AGP runs at 166/5 or 166/4
I do not want to damage my PCI/AGP/IDE devices
Can someone give me a certain answer?
thx!

[VIA] MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card

Does any body out there know if a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card will work well together?

like the grayone say, is true. for more ensure, try and search the graphic cards support list for your board at MSI (Sorry cause i don,t no is where the site located)
in my opinion, most is compability for your card, when is a AGP slot.
Except the new one like the AGP slot, call AGR( Accelaration Graphic Riser slot) that really need to find a compatibility graphic cards.....

Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

mhuizing,
nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work , i tested the connection with a friends computer
exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!
My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free :P !!!

MSI KT3 Ultra Reviews (NOT ARU)

I can't find any MSI KT3 Ultra Reviews on the web
Does anyone know where I can find MSI KT3 Ultra Reviews?
(I don't want the MSI KT3 Ultra ARU reviews)

bas is correct. an ARU and non ARu are going to function the same and perfrom pretty much the same
Im just posting in addition to what Bas said since I have both the KT3 Ultra and KT3 Ultra ARU and I can tell you from personal experience they perform identically
=======================================
The only rant I have about the ARU is the ARU has that ugly uneeded and crappy fan on the northbrdige....LOL I really like the non ARU without the fan better. The orange heatsink on the nonARU is more than enough to cool the NB even when overclocking. The KT333CE chip is well designed and doesnt get that hot by its very nature. So that darn cheapy fan is just for looks and serves no functional purpose on this chipset.
And best of all with the non ARU - the orange heatsink makes no noise and has no moving parts to break down
( :D ok done with my rant. Seems everyday I have to tell how I hate that silly silver fan lol :D )

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU 5.7 BIOS and SoudBlaster Cards - Audigy

I have flashed my BIOS to 5.7 Version and my sound card start to make a lot of noise (crackling) when play AC3 or DVD. If you dont want to use the new AMD CPU 333 FSB you dont need to flash the BIOS - I have Flashed to 5.6 again but, if you want to use a 333 FSB CPU you can flash the BIOS to version 5.7 and if have sound problems use the PCI latency patch for VIA chipsets.
VIA chipset MotherBoard owners who have through all of the above and still have sound problems with their Soundblaster cards, might want to look into the PCI latency patch for VIA chipsets - get it here:
http://www.georgebreese.com/net/software/
(scroll down the page there just a little to get to it).
There's also a similar page about resolving sound problems on Via chipset based computers here:

Mário Silva from Beja - Portugal
My System:
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
Athlon 2400+
512 Kingston PC2700 DDR SDRAM
MSI Geforce4 Ti 4200
SoundBlaster Audigy
Windows xp Pro SP1
400W PSU
Creative Drx3
Pinnacle PCTV pro
HDD Maxtor 80 GB UDMA 133
DVD Pioneer slot in
RW Samsung 48x16x48
Creative WebCam Go
UPS 500 VA
Monitor Sony 19" E400E

Since my chip is an unlocked, I cannot easily run it at the default, but I can underclock it. At 100x6.0=600mhz, USB does not work, as well as 100x12.5. Same with 133x6.0 and 133x12.5. It appears to make no difference underclocking or overclocking.
I downloaded the right BIOS listed on MSI's KT3 Ultra-ARU page. I don't think the BIOSes are different anyway, since the same files, changelog, and etc are also listed for the Ultra-2 board.
A thing to note, that this is the onboard VIA-controller USB ports doing this. My Ultra-ARU's NEC-controller USB 2.0 ports work fine in both Win2k and Linux if I hook my mouse and keyboard up in those. This is not an ideal solution for me though.

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU & GeForce 3 TI200

A little prob:
When I run my GF3 in AGP mode, all my games hang after playing 1 min. Then when I change the "Via Tech CPU to AGP-controller" to "PCI standard PCI to PCI brigde" thereby running my GF3 in PCI-mode everything runs fine. Then I went into "dxdiag" and saw that "Acceleration of AGP-struktur" was not availble. So I was thinking, am I looseing enything by running the GF3 in PCI-mode and is it the MSI or the GF3 that is causeing this problem.
I have tried all the VIA 4in1 drivers and they did not help.
My specs:
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
Athlon XP 1900+
Palite Daytona Geforce 3 TI200
Windows XP pro

i have the kt3 ultra with a geforce 3 ti200 and it runs flawless.. i use the det 30.30 drivers. one thing i noticed with geforce 3 cards is if i have my agp apperature set to anything but 128 games will freeze and get all kinds off lock ups. if i were you i would look around this forum for the bios setup guide for the kt3 ultra! and set your bios according to that guide
if you cant find it here goto http://www.amdmb.com and go to the msi forum there and the set up guide is there
hopefully that helps!!!!

MSI KT3 Ultra-Aru (KT333) and Duron Applebred??

Hi, welcome,willkommen,witajcie,dobry den, ... (I know this word in 11 languages)
I have MSI KT3 Ultra-Aru (KT333) and J want to buy AMD Duron 1800MHz(Applebred).
Does my motherboard support that processor?? It will work without problems??

in msi website the 333 fsb cpus are not supported too in kt3 ultra-ultra aru but they still work... so it make sense to discuss if applebred work or not in those mobos.

Warranty on MSI KT3 Ultra?

Hello!
Multi-part question:
1: How long (if any) does the warranty on a MSI KT3 Ultra mobo last?
2: If 8/03/02 is within that time period, how do I go about getting my $ back and/or an exchange?
My mobo shat itself about a half an hour ago and I think it's toast ;(
Thanks in advance

It's been just short of a YEAR and they took it back!
It didn't even have a box!
Aaannndd, they exchanged it for a MSI KT4V!
Booyah! I should do this more often :P

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU video lock-ups

Hello,
I have a 3 month old MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU. I am running Windows XP Professional and I am having a periodic lock-up where the screen will show blinking colored blocks and the system will freeze. Sometimes just hitting reset will cure the problem. Other times, hitting reset will create two vertical stripes of colored blocks scrolling down the screen. I have used the board on two entirely separate systems (One with AMD Athlon 2000+, Gainward GeForce 4200, 512 MB Samsung 2700 DDR, Western Digital Expert HD (tried both IDE #1 and RAID controller) (Other System, Athlon 1800+, a different Gainward Geforce 4200, 256 Crucial 2700 DDR, an older Maxtor hard drive). In either system, every once in a while, the system will freeze as described above (it has happened in Netscape 7.0, Microsoft Word 2000, America's Army game).
I have played around with the bios settings, reformatted hard drives, tried various revisions of the nvidia display drivers, swapped out video cards, etc. Any ideas? Do I have a bad board? Do I need to flash the BIOS? If the board is bad, what do I need to do to return it?
Thanks,
Matt Gumaer

The second system has a 330 watt enermax power supply. With the new system I put together, I put virtually the same board (MSI KT3 Ultra 2 with bluetooth and RAID), everything is the same as my first system (except the KT3 Ultra-ARU) and the stability is fine. So, I'm reasonably confident its not the power supply.

Anyone using BlueTooth with MSI KT3 Ultra-Aru?

Has anyone setup BlueTooth PC to PC network with the MSI KT3 Ultra-Aru?
Where can one get the transmitter? (assuming it works)

Hi,
I have a KT3 Ultra ARU too, and I understand that if you use the onboard Bluetooth connection you must not use the USB connection under the blue sticker at the same time.
I think it's because the onboard Bluetooth connection and the USB connection under the sticker use the same adress (IRQ). So as long as you have no Bluetooth, like me, you can use the 4 USB connections. If you use Bluetooth connection on board, do not use the USB connection under the sticker (the left one seen from backside of your PC).
If you use an external Bluetooth it's not a problem with your 4 USB connections.

Broken component on MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU mainboard.

Hi Everyone,
A friend of mine has an MSI mainboard which has a broken component due to his screwdriver slipping off the CPU clamp while installing a new CPU.
The mainboard is an MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E) ATX Revision 1.0
The broken component is next to the CPU socket (between the CPU socket and the chipset fan) and is labelled L14 on the mainboard.
I believe it is a Ferrite bead inductor/choke.
We have been unable to find the broken part and would like to replace it. I can fit a new component if I can find out the value of the broken inductor/choke in millihenries or microhenries or picohenries.
Would someone with an - MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E) ATX Revision 1.0 - mainboard, please take a look at the component labelled L14 and let me know what the numbers on that particular component are?
You will probably need a magnifying glass to do this, unless your eyes are very good!
If you know the value of this component, please help!
I would welcome any information on this, it's a shame to scrap a mainboard because of a component costing only a few cents/pence.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps on this, I appreciate you taking time and trouble to help.

Hi Bas,
I got the part I needed but not from MSI, they would not sell me one, so I went to a USA company called Mouser Electronics.
http://www.mouser.com/
The part cost me only 34 cents US, shipping was $6.00! So for about £4.00 UK I can fix the board. Better than £20.00 by far.
You can order even very small parts from mouser as a one off, something you can't do with most UK companies. Their range of stock is *huge*.
Thank you very much for getting the info about the part from MSI for me. I could not have repaired it if you had not helped me with that, so I owe you.
Dave, needtoknow.

Overclocking the MSI KT3 Ultra ARU

Hey,
I read some reviews with the kt3 Ultra ARU and i have read that people have been getting the FSB up to around 167? Yet, i fail to get it past 151? Any suggestions?
-Knowa-
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
AMD xp 1800+
768 mb pc2100
TDK 40x12x48
Lite ON DVD
ATI Radeon 8500 (GIGABYTE)

you would have more chance of it booting at 166
than 151 as the divider kicks in at 152
at 166 fsb your video and pci slots are at the correct speed
it can be done if you have been lucky with the cpu you gotlink

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU with GeForce 4 Ti 4200

Umm...
My PC keep freezing when I play a 3D Game like Warcraft III, GTA 3 or Neverwinter Nigths.
Sometimes it's freezing after 2 mins, sometimes I can play like a half hour.
When it's freezed, Windows don't work either so the whole comp is messed up then .. and I have to reboot him.
I post this here cuz I heard that those new GeForce Cards have some compatibilty probs with mainboards ...
maybe ... someone asked this already ... or just knows a soulution ...
Hi-Tak
My Comp:
AMD K7 1200 "C"
MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU
512MB Take-MS Infineon Ram
GeForce 4 Ti 4200 (Gainward)

Tekram SCSI-II Card
Fortissimo I Sound Card
Enermax 430W

hmm...
I got an Majesty Twins Cooler (TTC-MT1AB)
that one has ball bearing and everything.
It's mounted correctly and with silver Thermal Paste
CPU is constantly at 50 - 55 deegrees
Chassie at 35 - 40 deegrees
is this to much??
I will check again while playin...
thx for the hint
